Another good prime lens option is Canon’s 35mm f/2 lens. Although it’s quite a bit pricier than its 50mm stablemate, thanks to the 1.6x focal length magnification of Canon’s APS-C DSLRs it delivers almost exactly a true 50mm shooting length.

You might think that large tele-photo lenses are the preserve of professional photographers who have their kit pay for itself, and therefore can afford higher ticket prices on their product.

However, if you’re interested in wildlife or sports photography the Canon EF 70-300mm might be the lens for you. It offers an extensive and versatile focal range and you won’t need a professional budget to pick one up.

If you’re in to landscape photography, or just want a bit extra at the wide end of your focal range, it might be worth taking a look at the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5.

Thanks to the impressively wide headline focal length, you could find you’ll be able to fit that bit extra in to your landscape shots, while the fact that the lens is a zoom means that you’ll have the option to get a touch closer should needs be.
